I had 96 springer Badboy and really liked it. The front brake could have been better and is probably better on newer springers. If I were to buy a second bike there's a good chance it would be a springer.

Still one of my all time favorite scoot! I wish I never got rid of mine.

I ran into my ole scoot at the dealership awhile back, man I really miss the ole girl.

I did put a bug in the owners ear that if he wants to sell, I want first dibs to it.

Only bad thing I could/would change is the front brakes. Also, I slammed mine in the rear, for the looks, but If you have a BSR, she will hate it! (below is a photo before the slam look)

These things are in a class by themself!

OP- Since you are in Virginia, pull up Craig'slist and check out Hampton Roads.
There are quite a few on here, from older ones, Bad Boys, to CVO's.

Good Luck,

YB

I'll never go back. Like my bones better than my 05 rk I find it more comfortable.

I always heard that the front end feels "lose". Is that true? I always was curious to try one.
